[solved] ASUS P5K SE/EPU - AHCI

[scas]

What do you see in Sata configuration? And in what BIOS version was AHCI present?

---

Try this one. Check whether the AHCI is really enabled.

Hi Antinomy,

I am having such ASUS board and installed your mod. Changed setting to AHCI in Bios.... now the ssd gets found and windows starts, but only for 1-2 seconds, then progress stops, the moving windows logo does never appear.

I have set the registry key and I tried to boot from dvd to possibly reinstall windows, but the CD can't be booted.... once I hit a key to boot from dvd as requested, the error message appears. Is my IDE messed up because of the other updates in the rom?

TAHNKS! for your help here, guys

I wonder if a custom BIOS (this one in particular) can cause Windows Experience Index to fail with the specific message that Windows 7 (Ultimate x64) can't calculate the CPU performance?

Hello!

I know that this thread has "solved" in the topic but I have a humble request - can someone modify the original Asus BIOS 0501 (in the attachment - straight from Asus website) to just unlock the AHCI option? Florin9doi's version is heavily modified and I just want AHCI option, nothing more and nothing less. Pretty please with a cherry on the top ;-)

cheers

I have a P5KPL-AM EPU board, tried to flash with your bios mod but it shows no matter what or how I do it:

"ROM ID in the file is incompatible with with existing BIOS"

Could somebody help me, please? How can I modify the ROM ID? 

Thanks & cheers!

Asus P5K SE-EPU - AhciBiosMod dsdt smbios extensions - from above mediafire link (First one of three in that folder)
Changed ROM ID to match P5KPL-AM EPU board

Original ROM ID (I guess? ASUS P5K SE/EPU 0501)
A0994000 / (Hex = 41 30 39 39 34 30 30 30)

Changed to (Asus P5KPL-AM-EPU-0501)
A1350000 / (Hex = 41 31 33 35 30 30 30 30)

You can do this possibly by only changing the one ROM ID in it's own ROMID module, via MMTool 3.2x, but I found two instances of ROM ID via hex, so changed both that way instead.

I tried with EzFlash, afudos 2.38 and it shows:
Rom file boot block is not valid
Invalid boot block  

[Lost_N_BIOS]

Do it again with AFUDOS and don't flash the boot block (/B) then, it doesn't need reflashed every time anyway

AFUDOS BIOSfilename.bin /p
Or
AFUDOS BIOSfilename.bin /p /k

I tried with 4 different versions of afudos and I got 3 different errors:
1: the boot block is invalid.
2: BIOS does not support AFU
3: Problem getting flash information
